Firm Videos

Most people who come to us after being injured, luckily have never had to use a lawyer before. So there can be some common misconceptions. So number one, and the biggest one we always want people to know is we don’t get paid by the hour. We work on what’s called the contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid our attorney’s fees if we win. There’s no exceptions. So we front all the money for the expenses of the case, and only if we win, we get the expenses back and we get our attorney’s fees out of the settlement. You never pay us a penny out of your pocket in the unfortunate circumstance in which a case was lost. You don’t owe our firm anything. That’s number one. Number two, in car accident cases, your injuries typically are paid for by your own insurance or the car that you were injured in. However, we still have the ability to seek compensation from the other side. I think also one of the big misconceptions is they think personal injury lawyers are just out to get money, but I think we represent a very different type of law firm and very different type of client experience. Our people really care about our clients. They’re very compassionate, they’re empathetic, they’re very hardworking, they’re intelligent, and they really are with us because they want to be with us for the long haul because they want to continue to help people who deserve it continue to help raise the bar, the personal injury standard bar in Western New York, and keep fighting for what’s right and making sure insurance companies can’t bully people. I think that sometimes with advertising, people get a different perspective on personal injury lawyers, but we’re hopeful and confident that people realize that we’re real people who live in the community, who really care about our clients.
